DirectCut · x402

Turn your audience into a high-signal focus group. Creators gate high-resolution feedback submissions; viewers pay 0.01 USDC to have their timestamps pinned, reviewed, and algorithmically prioritized in the creator's dashboard via the x402 primitive. Pay-per-review ensures zero spam and instant settlement.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the audience feedback engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so videographers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveBy moving feedback from free-form (low quality) to micropayment-metered (high quality), you create a financial signal for attention. x402 eliminates gas friction while allowing creators to monetize the labor of processing audience critiques.
